BDO Foundation supports gov’t programs on COVID-19

In the fight to contain COVID-19 and its effects, a collaboration between the private sector and the national government is crucial. This is why BDO Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of BDO Unibank, supported RapidPass and ReliefAgad, two government programs designed to help frontliners and Filipinos severely affected by the novel coronavirus pandemic.

BDO Leasing and Finance, Inc. (BDO Leasing) recorded a net income of P83 million in 1Q 2020 vs. the P24 million loss in the comparative period last year. The results reflect successful measures undertaken to address margin compression, which dragged down its financial results in 2019.

We recently attended a conference and met fellow moms who only believe in giving the purest nutrition for the most valuable in their life – their children. For Pauleen Luna-Sotto, Andi Guck-Eigenmann, and Nikki Gil-Albert, they will do whatever it takes to love, nourish, and protect their children. And they show this commitment and gesture of love and protection by giving their little ones the best organic products.

This mother has been very vocal to her friends about her desire to lose weight. Most recommendation we got is intermittent fasting (IF). A lot of the people we know are now into IF. Even a number of Hollywood A-listers like Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry, and Hugh Jackman have attributed their slimmer figures to IF.

Though there are abundant information readily available on the internet, I still prefer a medical authority to attest the safety and sustainability of IF. Good thing Philippine top hospital Makati Medical Center (MakatiMed) sheds some light about this weight-loss trend. Through its Department of Nutrition & Dietetics, MakatiMed guides us on how to jump-start our dream to get leaner and hopefully healthier in 2020.

Last month, I felt extreme depression. I cried for hours or just slept until it was time to go to bed and sleep. So I thought of ways to help myself be sane. I cooked and baked for the boys. I watched all the Netflix movies I could think of to unwind and destress. I even shared blessings to others, believing that it would make me feel happy. But then, I still felt the big emptiness in me. Then I had a meltdown.

I ran away. And it was when I was alone that I’ve realized what’s missing in my life.

My mother is into a non-life insurance business for about two decades. She was able to grow her clients and even accumulate fleet accounts. As I help her now co-manage the company, I’ve seen that aside from the incidental few new accounts, our agency has been servicing only old clientele since the beginning. No new businesses are coming.

This made me go back to the words RJ Ledesma shared during the Entrepreneurs and Freelancers Forum 2020 I attended last January 11. He enumerated the proven ways to grow a business. I said proven because RJ has successfully launched and maintained The Mercato Central Group. It has been around BGC for more than a decade and even expanded in other areas.

What better way to jumpstart 2020 but with a list of resolutions and making sure you are all set to make them into good habits. Doing something consistently is something not too hard as it only takes 14 days to create a habit. And one habit this parent successfully instilled to her kids is the proper dental hygiene.

We are not too proud to tell that sometimes, our boys aren’t too mindful of the importance of proper dental hygiene. They sleep and even leave the house without brushing their teeth. In order to instill the habit of proper dental hygiene, we believe it is more than a reminder and good example. We have come to accept that they need to suffer the consequences of not brushing their teeth, for instance, so they would realize its importance. And it happened. Our third son complained about a toothache. So there came the opportunity to introduce the good habit of proper dental hygiene.
